Re: Santo: The Spare Room
Dake shrugged at Lyssa's question.
"Closest place to the port I could think of," he offered by way of an explanation. "On my boat, when you get a chance at shore leave, you take it."
He almost cringed at the use of Rhaef's own words. At least they were not Geoff's.
"Besides, like I said, I didn't expect to see anyone here. What brings you to this lovely establishment?"
Dake had to try hard to keep the smirk from creeping onto his face. At least he was still flying. Lyssa was now a waitress at one of the places they used to frequent. It felt like karma kicking in to Dake. Even though he still had no proof, he was sure it was Lyssa who had sabotaged Zach's skiff on that last race. The bonus she would have gotten for Dake winning the trophy that year would make such a win necessary. At the same time, she was at least still on Santos. His own family kicked him out, his friends had abandoned him, and his life as a skiff racer had been lost. Leaving Santos was his only option. Lyssa, on the other hand, probably still had her friends and at least a few contacts.
